Project 365 - Week Eleven

This week, as I had a couple of days off and the weather was nice, Chris and I decided to revisit lovely Whitstable. You may remember that we visited a few weeks ago, but there was a beer festival that particular day, so the place was heaving!

Well, it wasn't a huge amount quieter to be honest! Not quite festival bustling, but still fairly busy for a Monday! It must just be very popular, and I can understand why. I've fallen a bit in love with the place.


We had an absolutely delicious lunch of battered king prawns with sweet chilli sauce and chips at the Crab & Winkle. It was lovely sitting outside in the sunshine, right by the harbour. I'd thoroughly recommend it as the food is scrumptious. Plus, it's very reasonably priced. We had a very generous portion of the king prawns! Can't wait to go back!



I was determined to find the Whitstable beach huts during our visit, as I've seen quite a few photos of them on various websites, and they make for interesting photos. I wasn't disappointed. I really like the bright colours and would love to do a photoshoot there at some point.

Project 365 - Week Eight

I had heard that Whitstable is a lovely place to visit, with plenty of photographic opportunities, so Chris and I whizzed over there on Sunday afternoon. However, what we hadn't realised was that there was a weekend beer festival on, so the place was absolutely heaving! It was therefore very difficult to shoot anything at all.

I did manage to get a couple of good shots in the end, but I'll have to go back on a quieter day to properly explore.




We had planned to stick around and grab a bite to eat but, given the sheer volume of people, we decided to pop into Canterbury on the way home instead. Canterbury is such a beautiful city and lovely to just walk around. I took this photo of the river cruise beside the Little Italy restaurant:
